NEW DELHI: The Directorate of Revenue Intelligence (DRI) on Friday said it has busted and dismantled seven modules involved in printing Fake Indian Currency Notes (FICN) and arrested nine people following a massive crackdown across the four states of Maharashtra, Haryana, Bihar, and Andhra Pradesh. Officials said the action was part of the agencys ongoing drive against modules involved in importing security paper and printing FICNs. DRI officials conducted simultaneous searches at 11 locations across the four states on Thursday, they added. At Vikhroli West in Mumbai, the sleuths identified and located an importer. After a thorough search in a densely populated area, they uncovered a sophisticated facility for printing and finishing FICNs. Fake currency notes in the denominations of Rs 50 and Rs 100, along with several tools, were seized, officials said. The seized items included laptops, printers, pen drives, security paper, A-4 size papers, and butter paper with Mahatma Gandhis watermark. Officials added that the DRI registered a complaint with the jurisdictional police and arrested one person. All equipment and tools were seized under the Bhartiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for further investigation. In Maharashtras Sangamner and Kolhapur districts, similar facilities with computers and printers used for printing FICNs were unearthed. Officials said two accused were arrested following raids at these locations, and the contraband was seized by the jurisdictional police under BNS for further investigation. Interrogation of the accused in the Kolhapur module led to the busting of another printing facility in Belgaum. Kolhapur police arrested three more persons in connection with the case. At three other locations, including West Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, Khagaria in Bihar, and Rohtak in Haryana, the importers of security paper were traced, officials said. Incriminating evidence was recovered. Restricted security paper and a printer were seized in West Godavari, while laptops, printers, and restricted security paper were recovered in Khagaria. The jurisdictional police arrested three accused, and the case has been handed over for further investigation under BNS, officials said.

Three persons were arrested by the jurisdictional police, officials said.
National Embroidery month: Celebrating the rare traditional embroideries of India!
The delicate embroideries of India have a history to behold, that tells the centuries old stories of varied artistry and craftsmanship depicting the rich and diverse cultures of India. Some of these are the rarest of the rare, having lost their significance and are hidden somewhere in the weaving looms or in the corners of the subcontinent. As we come to an end to the National Embroidery month, it is time that we recognize the talent of the craftsmen who create and art through a thread and needle in hand. Let us take you to an embroidery journey from the North to the South of India, exploring some of the rare and the most traditional embroideries of India: Crewel Embroidery (Kashmir) The Crewel embroidery has been in existence since the 11 th century, being an indigenous craft of Kashmir. The art form in its prime was once admired by the Mughal Emperors as well as the Queen Elizabeth of England. Crewelwork is a kind of free surface embroidery crafted on wool, with no particular style of patterns. Earlier, the embroidery was done on linen twill, but now silk, cotton velvet, silk organza are also used. Now the embroidery is done on cushions, curtains and other home dcor items. Chamba Rumal Embroidery (Himachal Pradesh) The royal women of the Chamba region of Himachal Pradesh flourished this traditional embroidery since the 17 th century in princely hill states. It has a distinct style with small rectangles and squares, embroidered with silk threads, thin metal wires or metallic yarn identical on both the sides. It was mostly used in wedding gifts and ceremonial coverings, especially brides dowry. The embroidery often depicted gods and goddesses in its patterns drawn by women and children, later skilled craftsmen. The Chamba embroidery has lost its significance, sacredness and essence, with families keeping the art alive only fir survival. Shamilami Embroidery (Manipur) Shalimali is basically a blend of weaving and embroidery featuring animal designs. It was once considered to be a symbol of high class, that people wore for their recognition of bravery and heroism by the King. The embroidery was adorned on a three paneled traditional shawl for the warriors with some bold tribal motifs that were incorporated as a belief to offer protection in a battle. Similar versions can be observed in Nagaland as well. Khneng Embroidery (Meghalaya) Khneng (meaning border) is a 200-year-old Khasi embroidery that belongs to Mustoh village of Meghalaya. The Khasi community practices the craft, with the designs reflecting their belief and connect to nature. It was inspired by a local insect called Kitiar. Mustoh is the only known village practicing Khneng embroidery, deeply rooted in the culture of Khasis. Khneng is traditionally done on eri silk shawls. Sujini Embroidery (Bihar) Sujini embroidery originated in the 1920s in the Bhunsura village of Bihar originally as a form of quilting. The simple elegant styles on vibrant shades of silk and cotton are known for the kantha running stitch. The motifs featured include geometric shapes and symbols of nature. Sujini embroidery often depicts storytelling by women, about resilience and overcoming hardships. The craft almost became extinct and was revived in 1988. It is now protected under the GI Act. Pipli Embroidery (Odisha) The Pipli embroidery has its origins back to 12 th century from the Pipli village of Odisha. Bright patterned fabric pieces are stitched together on a plain cloth, mostly velvet. Mirror and lacework is also done, along with stitching of patterns. Based on the patchwork it began to be known as Chandua. Originally, pipli work began to be done in the Jagannath Puri culture during the Rath Yatra, the designs reflected the same. And nowadays, Pipli embroidery can be found in home dcor items. Rabari Embroidery (Gujarat) Rabari embroidery is practiced by the nomadic Rabari or Rewari community of Gujarat and Rajasthan. The colorful, vibrant and vivid patterns of Rabari very much reflect upon the women who make it. Traditionally, the designs, motifs and patterns depicted upon the mythological and historical events of the past. Mirrors of all shapes and sizes are also added to the embroidery, for the belief that it will protect from evil spirits. Gujarat is also home to another traditional embroidery, the Karchobi embroidery which was introduced in the 17 th century. It is a type of Mochi embroidery that belongs to the Kutch region. Karchobi embroidery could be observed on bridal outfits, temple chariots and tent hangings. Kasuti Embroidery (Karnataka) Kasuti translates to Kai, meaning hand and suti which is weave or wrap. The embroidery has its origin back to the Chalukya rule from the 6 th to 12 th century in North Karnataka. In Kasuti embroidery, there is a single thread which involves the counting of each thread on the cloth. Both sides of the cloth look identical, as the stitching of the patterns is without any knots. It was inspired by the local rangoli patterns, with those of a chariot, palanquin, lamps began to be formed through stiches like Gavanti, Murgi, Negi among others. Toda Embroidery (Tamil Nadu) The name of the embroidery is derived from the tribe that embroiders it, the Toda or Todu community of Nilgiris. You can witness sacred red and black patterns on shawls called poothkuli. Designs made by them reflect on their ancestors tattoos that are believed to guide spirits to the afterlife. Practiced by women, the embroidery has its own unique style called pugur, which means flower. The designs also stylize sun, moon, stars and the eyes of peacock feathers. The rarest embroidered threads are the most delicate and fragile. In the modern era, the traditional embroideries need to be cherished and appreciated a lot more. Also, it is time to preserve the craft and its craftsmanship for the coming generations, so that the legacy and tradition continues aheadbefore they turn into absolute oblivion.

AISEC: Instead of shutting government schools in Karnataka, address root cause of low enrolment
BENGALURU: Karnataka State Committee of All India Save Education Committee (AISEC) condemned the the state governments alleged plan to shut down 6,000 government schools, citing poor enrolment ratio. In a media statement on Thursday, AISEC President Allamaprabhu Bettaduru said, The School Reform Commission had submitted a proposal to the previous BJP government to merge schools with less than ten children with nearby schools, giving an illogical pretext that they are not able to provide quality education to them. Despite opposition since its submission, the government is now pushing ahead with school closures. If this plan goes through, over 25 % of government schools in the state will shut down, impacting the future of more than 50,000 children, he warned He further questioned the governments claim that it would arrange transport for students from remote villages. When families are already struggling with unemployment and financial difficulties, how can they afford to send their children to distant places? This is nothing but an excuse to close the schools, Bettaduru alleged. If the state government is really interested in saving the public education system and government schools, then they should find the root cause of poor enrolment in these schools and take steps to address them. Providing universal education is the primary duty of the government and should not be viewed through a profit-and-loss lens, he said. Bettaduru also accused the state government of treating education as a burden, calling it a a green signal for the privatisation of education. He urged the state to allocate 10% of its budget to save government schools and colleges, abolish unscientific methods of teaching in government schools, introduce time-tested teaching methods and fill adequate teaching and non-teaching posts.

Telangana deputy CM Bhatti bats for states autonomy in education sector
HYDERABAD: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka criticised the new University Grants Commission (UGC) guidelines, likening it to a system where one is forced to pay the bill in a restaurant without being allowed to choose their meal. Speaking at the National Convention on Higher Education organised in Thiruvananthapuram, Vikramarka said that the Centre, while expecting states to provide funds and run universities, was depriving them of any role in the appointment of vice-chancellors as well as admissions. If this situation is allowed to continue, then the states would be confined to cutting ribbons at the inauguration of buildings, he said sarcastically. Vikramarka said that the education sector was in the concurrent list and it was not the monopoly of the Union government. States should build educational institutions and systems suitable for their people and social setups. There would not be many similarities between any two states, he said and added that no state could provide quality education without autonomy. All states should emphatically convey their opinion on such an important priority subject without merely confining themselves to the discussions alone, he added. When states stand united with a common objective, the Centre must listen. States are not mere administrative units but lifelines for the progress of the country, he added. Right to choose right path Stating that the Telangana government was ready to organise the next conference in Hyderabad, Vikramarka stressed the need to formulate an action plan on behalf of states. States have the right to choose the right path. If the right decision is not taken, states would have to face serious consequences in the future, he cautioned. Special challenges Only states know students aspirations, their pulse and special challenges to be overcome. Delhi cannot run the education sector with a remote control. The Centre should formulate policies in tune with the requirements of states. If it believes in the spirit of federalism, then it should discuss it with the states, he added. Vikramarka also made a PowerPoint presentation, seeking more autonomy for states in education and health sectors. He recalled that in Rajasthan vs Union of India, the Supreme Court noted that India was bound by the federal Constitution. In Kesavananda Bharati vs State of Kerala, the court noted that federalism was the basic feature of the Indian Constitution, he pointed out. Eliminating the role of state governments in the appointment of vice-chancellors and search committees, and amending the eligibility criteria of vice-chancellors were a matter of serious concern, he said Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan, Kerala Higher Education Minister R Bindu, Karnataka Minister for Higher Education MC Sudhakar, Tamil Nadu Minister for Higher Education of TG Chezhian, Punjab education minister Harjot Singh Bains and prominent educationists attended the convention.

Kerala, TN, Karnataka, Telangana adopt joint resolution against UGC draft rules, demand withdrawal
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Kerala government-sponsored national convention on UGC draft regulations, 2025, attended by ministers of three other non-BJP ruled southern states, has passed a 15-point resolution mainly demanding the withdrawal of the regulations that diminishes the role of the states and goes against the federal spirit of the Constitution. Inaugurating the convention, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the regulations can only be viewed as part of an effort to undermine democratic values in higher education and to place the sector under the control of those promoting religious and communal ideologies. Pinarayi said the regulations infringe upon the powers of the states in legislating higher education and thus undermine the federal foundations of the country. The Chief Minister said the Union Government and UGC were trying to exclude state governments from their administration of universities. It cannot be the case that states will not have any real control over the universities established by laws enacted by State assemblies and run using the states financial and administerial resources, he added. Leader of the Opposition V D Satheesan who appreciated the governments efforts in organising the convention, reminded that the UGC should function within its Constitutional mandate. Higher Education Minister R Bindu who presided over the event said the draft regulations not only violate constitutional provisions but also threaten to dilute academic quality in state universities. Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka said the draft regulations have left states as mere onlookers in their own universities. Similar views against the transgressions of the Union government and the UGC were echoed by MC Sudhakar and Govi Chezhiaan the higher education ministers of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu respectively.
